This is a discussion on how to get 300hp in simple terms? within the New Member Hangout forums, part of the Community - Meet other Enthusiasts category; I'm new to the Subaru scene and just got a 02 wrx. I was wondering what are some ways to ...

There is no quick and easy way to do this. There are slower and more involved ways. See link in my sig, but again, consider another car if you want quick and easy.

wrxlaunch is correct, but none of that is quick. It's a couple days work, roughly a couple grand cost, and lots of bolts, nuts, and bleeding knuckles. People do it all the time but it doesn't meet your criteria.

WRX Info Links, Courtesy TheJMan is a brute.... If you're cruel to him, he respects and fears you. If you're kind to him, he plucks your eyes out. Alexis ZorbasI lied. I cheated. I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to murder. But the most damning thing of all... I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again - I would.

lol it was the quickest way but certainly not the easiest. i mean he already has the bug eye, so thatd mean hed have to spend more money on anyother, when he can spend the ~grand or 2(depending if he finds good deals or not) and be just as fast for cheaper.

He's not as good at building Subarus as Subaru, so it is unlikely he will end up faster for cheaper. Even assuming the bugeye exceeds the power of a stock factory 2.5L STi engine, the car itself will be slower, probably over 2s per km slower -- and nothing in this thread even addresses that issue. But I do think your comment on deals should be looked into -- people are parting out or are selling used bits all over so a lucky or smart shopper sure can save a lot of money over buying new. That still leaves the man hours and the wrenching but it's a great way to save some cash though, you're absolutely right.

lol yes, people ask me about certain parts for their car, recent a kid asked me if i knew about anything about the greddy Evo 2 and TI-C and i said "yes...theyre way to expensive for just a cat back"

i literally got my entire turbo back set up(including a straight pipe for when i wanna be obnoxious), and up pipe for less than that of a brand new brand name cat back,

hell all my mods(tbe, up pipe, coil overs, ap v2 and wheels) cost less than 2 grand total. It takes time but if you search around for a little while youll find some pretty stellar deals, a little bit of research can go a long way
